What are the very basic algorithms that every Computer Science student must be aware of?

The benefits of most algorithms will be hard to explain to someone who has not yet been introduced to them, but I tried my best of giving a hint for their role. 1. Naive Bayes. Classification is a natural first step to machine learning and the Naive Bayes classifier combines that with the trending

Going to present algorithms that carry over to engineering, not just research and TopCoder. Another goal was for these algorithms to be useful and widely applicable hammers in their own right, not just as an idea. The benefits of most algorithms will be hard to explain to someone who has not yet bee

Any computer science graduate wishing to succeed in his/her career as a programmer must have understanding of at least one programming language, preferable an object oriented language, data structures and software engineering. Functional domain knowledge in any area is icing on cake. Computer engi

Coming from an intensive programming contest background, having read Introduction to Algorithms, etc., but then moving on to doing real-life projects, I find that some of the more interesting and powerful algorithms in a problem-solving setting find little use in the industry. I'm thus going to pre
